Programmer's Paradise (Mobile Apps)
This is an introductory camp to Java programming and mobile application development. It assumes no prior knowledge of programming or Java. For individuals interested in MODifying Minecraft or creating smartphone applications, this class is highly recommended.

Modding Minecraft
If you don't like a facet of the Minecraft game, change it! Modders can have a lot of control over Minecraft, but there's a lot of code and beginning can be overwhelming. But still, creating your own blocks and adding your own functionality to Minecraft is quite a liberating experience! If you want more content, you can add it! Experience with Java is recommended or completion of our Mobile Apps using Java.

For the Love of Minecraft
Campers will learn computer skills, internet awareness, graphics design, 3D printing, animations, videos, adventure mapping and basic automations as we tap their interest in Minecraft.

FUNdamental Chaos I (Machines)
Learn simple machines with levers, gears, pulleys and motors with challenges to enable creativity and teamwork. This class is highly recommended as a starter into the area of robotics. Before you learn to program you must learn about how a robot can act within and on its environment especially in its movements. Power Functions used.

FUNdamental Chaos II (Robotics)
Includes programming and building with MINDSTORM NXT motors and sensors with challenges to enable creativity and teamwork. After this class students will be ready to take on FIRST LEGO League challenges or broaden their understanding of robotics with the NXT.

FUNdamental Chaos II with VEX IQ
Students will use a VEX IQ robot in this class. After this class students will be ready to take on VEX IQ challenges or broaden their understanding of robotics.

Programmer's Paradise (Beginners)
This is an introductory level class for learning how to program through the creation of games. Students will be using project-based learning as they create their own games from simple 'drag-n-drop' programming. Scratch or other programming environments will be used to help students understand programming and create their own games.

Resident Camp

Coed

In the Fall of 2003, Daryl Gelender and Jill Stolbach, both Dallas residents and former Greenhill private school teachers, dreamed of a place children could learn through an elaborate enrichment program taught by professionals in a summer camp environment. It was from this dream that Camp Kiowa brought its first campers to Texas Woman’s University in Denton during the summer of 2004.

In 2005, Brian and Jennifer Manhart purchased Camp Kiowa in an effort to maintain the high-quality enrichment program already in place, and to incorporate all the benefits of a traditional camp experience. After 2 years of continual growth on the university campus, Brian and Jennifer decided to offer an additional enrichment experience in a more traditional camp environment. The university experience many campers have known as Camp Kiowa evolved into Kiowa U. Many campers, in search of a more traditional style of overnight camp, but looking for the depth only found in an enrichment program, enjoyed the experience known as Adventure Kiowa.

In 2009, The Manhart family purchased the future home of Camp Kiowa(Lone Oak Ranch). They understood the value of joining both Kiowa U and Adventure Kiowa into one experience… Camp Kiowa at Lone Oak Ranch. This program offers the best of both worlds… traditional overnight camp, educational programs, relational activities, fun evening programs and genuine friendships! The Manharts also understood the benefit of living year-round on the property with other team leaders that could focus on quality programming in a very safe environment. The group has been extremely successful with “off-season” events and is now equipped to produce only the best summer camp experience with Camp Kiowa.
